JUWELS Time-lapse video

This time-lapse video shows the installation of the supercomputer JUWELS at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) over a few weeks. JUWELS is the acronym of Jülich Wizard for European Leadership Science.

Excellence Prize and JuDocs 2018

In addition to awarding the Jülich Excellence Prize, Forschungszentrum Jülich honoured a total of 44 doctoral researchers at the 2018 JuDocs event. Dr. Barbara Gold, Dr. Maria Żurek, Dr. David Dahmen, and Dr. Nicolai Kallscheuer are the winners of this year’s Excellence Prize of Forschungszentrum Jülich and conduct their research in the fields of particle physics, biotechnology, brain research, as well as neutron scattering and soft matter.

Dr. Anne Thompson is a senior scientist at the Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA. The climate researcher coordinates the network Southern Hemisphere Additional Ozonesondes (SHADOZ). Its aim is to provide long-term data on ozone in the atmosphere. We interviewed Dr. Thompson at Forschungszentrum Jülich, where members of the international network with stations in the southern hemisphere have come together to calibrate their instruments in November 2017.

Dr. Herman Smit epxplains how ozone sondes are calibrated at Jülich

Dr. Hermann Smit is a researcher at Forschungszentrum Jülich and Chair of the of the Jülich Ozone Sonde Intercomparison Experiment (JOSIE). Its aim is to implement a global quality assurance plan for ozone sondes in routine use today around the world to watch global changes of ozone in the atmosphere. In order to assess the performance of the different types of ozone sondes, the environmental simulation chamber at the Forschungszentrum Jülich is established as World Calibration Center for Ozone Sondes (WCCOS).

Quantum Mechanics Illustrated by Neutron Scattering

Quantum mechanics is one of the central pillars of modern physics. Two new videos from the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) clarify fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics using neutron scattering experiments from research undertaken at Jülich.Video 1 (5 min 07 sec)Video 2 (4 min 12 sec)

Forschungszentrum Jülich Turns 60

In 2016, Forschungszentrum Jülich is celebrating its 60th anniversary. Why not explore our gallery of impressions from the past six decades?

The Human Brain Project

Scientists in the Human Brain Project aim at gaining a deeper understanding of the human brain. This will help not only to understand what makes us human, but also to lay the foundation for new therapies of brain related diseases. New insights might also be useful for new approaches in information technology. The film shows the contributions of researchers at Jülich to the European Human Brain Project.

Forschungszentrum Jülich: Finding Tomorrow Today

Will we ever be able to heal Alzheimer's? How will we meet our demand for energy in 50 years? How accurate are our climate predictions? How can we feed nine billion people? How will we build the computers of the future? Forschungszentrum Jülich deals with the challenges of our time. What we focus upon is decided upon by our most important client: by society.
